Calm Spirit Herbs and Tea
Chinese Herbal Support Products and Tea
If you visit China, you can consult a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine for a pulse diagnosis and herbal prescription. An herbal pharmacist will measure the herbs and for a small fee will prepare your prescription in the form of a decoction (boiled) and deliver it to you in sealed plastic bags of measured doses. An herbal prescription is usually taken twice daily for two weeks or longer.
In the U.S, you can purchase Chinese patent herbal formulas that are quite effective. Herbal formulas take longer to work than western medicine, but since they work naturally with your body, they are generally safe and without side effects. If you are pregnant or taking medication, you should check with your doctor before taking any herbal products.
If you have never taken Chinese patent formulas before, you will notice that pill form probably looks different from herbal supplements you may have taken in the past. An herbal product listed as a "pill" looks like a small, round ball, usually dark in color. You will notice the dosage on the bottle often tells you to take 8 pills, three times daily. This dose is recommended when your symptoms are acute, as in hot flashes that are disrupting your life and your sleep. You may want to take the recommended dose for three or four weeks, then when you start feeling better, decrease to twice daily until you no longer need to take it.
